Summary
She’d given him her eyes and her sadness and eight years of her time before the Duke Mitchell shaped hole in her chest bled her dry, soaking the bathroom tiles and Maverick’s white socks crimson when he’d found her.

Summary
Charlie had never quite worked out what about herself, the person she was becoming, her mother found so offensive. So unlovable.
She’d quickly stopped trying. Had moved her focus to more important things.
Because she soon realised she didn’t need to be loved when she could be respected.
Love was fickle, ephemeral, a delicate guessing game. But respect, that was absolute. If it wasn’t given willingly, it could be drawn from the reluctant depths, a forced acknowledgement of the objective truth. The truth that Charlie was too good to be ignored.

Summary
In the dark privacy of Ice’s room, the phone on the bedside table rang with all the considerate tact of a fry pan to the temple.
Ice jolted like he’d just acquainted himself intimately with a live wire, sheets tangling around his legs as he fumbled for the phone in a sleep scrambled panic. Propped up on one elbow, he nearly dropped it twice as he brought it to his ear, heart thumping viscerally in his chest above a stomach churning like the sea.
“Who. Why.” he demanded hazily, tongue heavy and uncoordinated, mind even more so.
“So when you said anytime, did you mean anytime?”
-
Three times Maverick needed his wingman.

Summary
She’d been angry when she saw him, livid, screaming cruelty as he ran back to his bedroom to hide beneath the covers. To hide from the monster his mother sometimes became. The only monster he still believed in. The only monster that had ever hurt him.
But it wasn’t always like that. Mostly, it was quiet. Still. Curtains drawn, bedroom dark.

Summary
They rolled up beside the stranger just as he was entering the spotlight glow of the next streetlight.
Or maybe not a stranger.
“Maverick?” The surprise in Sunny’s tone turned the word almost accusatory.
Maverick startled, like he hadn’t even heard them approach, which was concerning in and of itself. He whipped his head around to face them and Sunny’s stomach did something strange and unpleasant.

Sunny and Chipper come across Maverick on the roadside.

Summary
“Captain?” She asks, even though she knows she already has his attention. “Why doesn't Eren… why won't he look at me the way Erwin looks at you?”
She's baring her throat to him, hoping desperately he won't snap at her. Not more than he usually does, anyway.
He has the emotional range of a brick wall, and a switchblade for a mouth, and she has no one else.
...Mikasa and Levi talk about love.
